If you're on a budget and prioritize gaming, especially competitive gaming, the Gigabyte G24F-2 provides a good experience at a lower price and is friendly for activities like digital photo editing. However, if productivity and enjoying wider, more immersive visuals in your tasks are more important to you, the LG 34WQ73A's larger, ultrawide screen could be worth the extra investment, also offering better text and image clarity which benefits general media consumption, though it's not ideal for gaming. Both are suitable for print photo editing, but neither is recommended for HDR gaming and media consumption. Give Feedback
